I might get myself a Wolverine next... the Kodiak is great don't get me wrong, but the things I bought it for I find i don't like them enough to use them like "Diff lock" Yeah, don't really like it, I find it turns the bike into a tank. Incredibly hard to steer. I just think the Wolvie is more my sporty style and I'm not quite "Utility" enough to need a work bike. All after thoughts that I wish I would have addressed before buying.

Thats the way I was GI I have always had a utility(only 2wd models though) I knew I wanted 4x4 but I wanted SRA and a sporty model. That only left one real choice to me, I knew about the can-am but have no experience with them and no dealers anywhere near me. Plus I have had Yamaha's forever and cant hardly tear one up.

i believe someone had already asked this, but is it neccessary to get the epi clutch kit as well as the hauck machining done, or is the machining by itself boost low end power and increase top end speed,

just wondering if i need to buy both?

The machining by itself should do both, i already have the epi clutch kit in mine, so if I do it I will leave the epi in and have hauck machine the clutch to suit the built wolvy I am doing, I believe they change the amount of machine work to depend on what your riding style is and what kind of mods you have done to your machine.

I do not know what exactly they machine but it looks like that they allow the rollers to travel further out and further in to give better low end and better top end. The EPI clutch kit changes the engine RPM in which the clutch starts to shift, it changes the engagement RPM of the wet clutch and im not 100% sure what the new spring does but i belive either changes how quickly the clutch shifts and or it effects how much tension is on the clutch belt.

Any way I think the two products do 2 different things for the ultramatic clutch system.

Yota, your description sounds almost extactly the same as theirs, I called today and forgot to ask them which part to send, I think its the cam, I looked it up and its only a $28 part. Ill call them back tomorrow and find out which part, if its the Cam Ill have them order one and do the work and send it to me. Part of his desciption was "Its like adding lower gears and OVERDrive" Iam sold! He also told me their clutch kit was better than others and that they also make an adjustable clutch kit that uses BB's as weight instead of having to change rollers. Their prices were also ALOT cheaper than the competion.

no you send in the primary clutch basket, where the rollers are located for the machine work.

lol, I wish I still had the pics from when I did the epi clutch kit to show you. But this time when I tear the clutch down to do the hauck racing clutch mod I will take more pics and put them on photo bucket.
